Mike Pence has admitted he was angry at Donald Trump when the then-president accused him of cowardice and set the mob on him on January 6, describing Trump's actions as 'reckless'.
Pence, who served as Trump's vice president, told ABC News in his first television interview since the riot that Trump 'decided to be part of the problem'.
On January 6 Pence, who refused Trump's demands to overturn the 2020 election, was inside the Capitol when it was breached. The mob erected a gallows with a noose outside the building, and Pence was at one point only 40 feet from the invaders.

Sorry, Mike, no longer believe anything you say.
We know President Trump offered The Capitol Police, et al, our National Guard on JANUARY 3rd.

His precarious position was caused by two basic items:
1. His cowardice in rejecting defective state certifications.
2. The failure of the Speaker of the House to accept the national guard from the president.
Mike, shut up and disappear into Indiana somewhere.

I’m sure Pence did what he thought was right, and he’s entitled to his opinion now, but he needs to understand that his career is over and that most of us are already focused on how to win decisively in 2024.

Has he criticized the people in charge of security for refusing to have adequate security in place for the expected crowd? Does he have any questions concerning the actions of certain identified actors such as ray epps and the guy with the bull horn?
No, he’s worried about tweets. It would be interesting to know what percentage of the crowd were actively following Trump’s twitter account for guidance. Was Pence following Trump’s tweets in real time that day?

What's he so upset about? Just because Trump sicced a mob on him and that mob chanted "Hang Mike Pence" and erected a gallows outside? Touchy, touchy. I'm sure all the hearty souls on here wouldn't mind that a bit if Trump had done that to them.

Pence is a wimp. If the wimpy establishment Republicans ever nominate Pence as their Presidential candidate the aggressive Democrats will stomp Pence into the gutter during the run-up to the Presidential election. No doubt about that, along with the fact that the Trump supporting conservative Republicans will never vote for Pence.

Set the mob on him?? Give me a break, Harriet. Interesting that after the Uniparty stole another election, Pence comes out with his whining about Trump. I guess it doesn’t matter what we think of this traitor. If the Uniparty wants him as POTUS, and deals are made, he’ll get the most ballots.

Ransacked? Who the hell was ransacking. You and I've seen the pictures, the tiny number of people who were let into the capital building by the police and some unknow masked individuals, by and large looked like tourists. Yes a couple of the idiots stole some souvenirs and those people should be slapped on the wrist. But nobody ransacked anything to speak of. This is the kind of biased reporting we get. Insurrection my left foot. What I saw was a police riot attacking people after sitting on the asses for most of the day. Remember the only people who were killed that day was a woman beaten to death and an unarmed woman shot to death buy and out of control cop.

While I'm not about to jump on the Pence bandwagon, I will give him some room here.
On January 6, there wasn't much he could (or should) have done besides seat the electors certified by the states, Sadly, our court system refused to hear any valid challenge to the election rules which were routinely violated by many states, including Penna., Wis., Mich., Ga, Ariz., and Nev, (and we're seeing that happen again in 2022).
Nancy and her henchmen were unprepared and also provided some of the instigators for the J6 fiasco. Ray Epps, please call your FBI officer.

Pence is trying to cover his cowardice by pretending he and his family were in danger. None of them ever were. He has armed security. There were no armed protestors. Pence offers tripe for not doing his job. It is not selling very well.

In a just world he would be scared of justice catching up to him for the rest of his miserable stinking life.

I take back something I wrote above.... I was wrong when I accused him of being as big a liar as AOC.
He is worse. At least she doesn't pretend to be a Conservative who loves America.. I'd much rather face her, who declares herself to be my enemy, Across a battlefield, than have Pence at my back, pretending to be an ally but just hoping to get a chance to stick a knife in my back.

I had better never see his name on a ballot as a candidate for national office.
Is he building creds, in the manner of L. Cheney, for a cushy job at CNN or MSNBC as an in-house "conservative"? in other words, hired to embarrass Republicans as needed, in the manner of M. McCain. He already has broadcast experience, in radio, if I am not mistaken.

FTA: “On January 6 Pence, who refused Trump's demands to overturn the 2020 election,...” / President Trump DID NOT demand Vice President Pence overturn the 2020 election. What President Trump hoped Vice President Pence would do was not illegal; the Electoral Count Act of 1887 “...aims to minimize Congressional involvement in election disputes, instead placing the primary responsibility to resolve disputes upon the states. The Act sets out procedures and deadlines for the states to follow in resolving disputes, certifying results, and sending the results to Congress.”
In the past 20 years, Electoral College Certifications were objected to three times by Democrats. In 2001, “House Democrats challenged the certification of electoral votes for then-Texas Governor George W. Bush, a Republican...” In 2017, Vice President Joe Biden “oversaw certification of the electoral votes that handed the presidency to Donald Trump. House Democrats had challenged the electoral slate. In 2005, Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D, OH) and Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) “together challenged Bush’s victory in Ohio on grounds of alleged voter irregularities.”
Ted Cruz wanted Congress to “appoint an Electoral Commission, with full investigatory and fact-finding authority to conduct an audit of election results before Inauguration Day on Jan. 20. Once the audit was completed, states would evaluate the Commission’s findings and could convene a special legislative session to certify a change in their vote, if needed.”
The decision Mike Pence made was his to make; however, there was nothing immoral about pursuing the Constitutional action President Trump wanted to pursue not solely for his personal benefit, but because of the morality in seating a presidential candidate as a result of voter fraud, sanctioning such a precedent for future elections.

#42 - thank you for such an in-depth explanation. Pence did not do what he could have because (as accurately pointed out by Trump) he was too coward. He took the side of least resistance. Not a good leadership skill, and proves he learned nothing about winning. Or fighting. So yeah, he'd like to run next.

I am wondering how obtuse you have to be to think that it was President Trump who urged the mob to break things and threaten Pence? It is well documented that President Trump told the protesters who attended his speech to be PEACEFUL, if they chose to go to the Capital. It is a fact that Ray Epps and FBI agents agitated the crowd, who weren't at the Trump speech. Antifa was there breaking a window when a Trump supporter tackled him. The Capital police willfully opened locked doors to the Capital. Trump didn't order them to do that. Capital police beat a woman to death and shot an unarmed woman to death. Who ordered that? Not Trump. President Trump offered 10,000 National Guard troops to DC to prevent violence, the DC mayor and Pelosi rejected the offer. A certain poster really needs to learn some basic facts before posting foolish, opinions. Unless that is his new job.
